One of Angela's threads inspired me to make this. 
I will start off by reposting the response I left on Angela's thread.

Luke 1:37 says "For with God nothing shall be impossible." To me, that is Tequila's (and God's) way of telling me that as long as I have God, nothing will be impossible for me to overcome. That the sadness and grief I feel right now, and will feel again and again as my family members die off, will not last forever. And that as long as I have God, nothing shall be impossible for me to bear.
Now, anyone who knows me, knows how much I love and miss my beautiful Tequila girl. I actually started bawling when I found that verse in my magazine..lol..But I digress, so back to the title of this thread. In hard times, I have always looked to the verse Philippians 4:13. In the last couple of years, it has become a mantra of sorts for me. Especially last year when I was knocked out of commission with a herniated disk and sciatica in my left leg. The agony of that was unlike any other pain I have ever had. It is absolutely undescribable, except to say that it's probably worse than the pain of burning in hell. I was alone, had no one to help me, and I was stuck in bed, and on top of all that, I had a terminally ill cat to take care of who made it even harder for me, because she would throw up and poop on the floor rather often.
So here I was, alone and in agony, and having to keep my life going while taking care of a sick animal, and I was unable to stand at all, every move was excruciating. So my daily cry was "Lord please give me your strength, I can't do this myself". And I would remember Philippians 4:13. Long story short, with God I was able to get out to do tasks like checking my mail, taking out the trash, doing shopping and laundry, etc.I especially needed help getting out of bed. God's strength gave me the ability to do it. It hurt like hell, literally, but I had God's strength so I managed to do it all.
Philippians 4:13 and Luke 1:37 are my go-to verses in times of trials and pain. Now tell me what some of YOUR trials have been, and what verses you used to get you through.
